Institute for
Nonlinear Analysis
and Applications

The seminar is where mathematics meets application. Problems that arise naturally in industry and science are often deeply nonlinear — and genuinely unsolved. INAA exists to take them seriously.

Mission

Where nonlinearity meets the world

An independent mathematical institute devoted to nonlinear analysis and its applications. Through rigorous seminars and collaborative research, we identify genuine problems at the intersection of mathematics, machine learning, and quantitative finance — and work on them seriously.

Research & Seminars
Our seminars bring together researchers across nonlinear PDE, machine learning theory, and quantitative finance. Genuine research problems emerge from this contact — problems that are mathematically deep and immediately applicable.
Industry Engagement
Results developed at INAA are designed to be applicable. We maintain direct relationships with quantitative finance and ML organizations — not as consultants, but as mathematicians who understand their problems at the right level.
Education & Outreach
The seminar series is the institute's living core — open, free, and mathematically serious. Educational programs and competitions extend this spirit to the next generation of mathematical scientists.

INAA Seminar Series

A recurring seminar bringing together PhD mathematicians, industry researchers, and applied scientists at the frontier of nonlinear analysis.

<

The INAA Seminar is the founding and central activity of the institute. It is a monthly gathering of researchers working across nonlinear analysis, machine learning theory, and quantitative finance. Talks range from rigorous mathematical lectures to presentations by industry practitioners on problems where nonlinear methods are genuinely needed.

The seminar is not a networking event. It is a research seminar. The goal is for participants to leave with a clearer understanding of an open problem, a new technique, or a genuine point of contact between their work and someone else's. Over time, these points of contact become collaborations.

Talks are recorded with speaker permission and archived. A written summary is circulated to the mailing list after each session. To propose a talk, write to seminar@nonlinearanalysis.org.

Work with INAA

We welcome engagement from academic researchers, industry partners, and institutions — in forms that range from a single seminar to a long-term research program.

Research
Fund a Research Position
Support a named research fellow or visiting researcher working on a problem at the interface of your organization's interests and nonlinear analysis. Named positions acknowledge the supporting organization and may involve regular research interactions.
Inquire
Industry
Sponsor the Seminar
Organizations may sponsor the INAA Seminar Series or a focused thematic workshop. Sponsorship includes named visibility on event materials, the option to send a speaker, and access to our community of PhD-level researchers in mathematics, ML, and quantitative finance.
Discuss sponsorship
Industry
Fund a Research Project
Partners may commission a focused research program on a clearly formulated problem. A small team of researchers works over a defined period, producing technical reports and, where appropriate, publishable results. Academic independence is maintained throughout.

Education
School Partnership
Schools and educational institutions are invited to co-host mathematics enrichment and competition programs. We provide curriculum and PhD-level instruction; partners provide venue and student recruitment infrastructure. Joint branding on all program materials.
